In this article, we'll dive into the world of slow cooker posole, a comforting and flavorful Mexican dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- A slow cooker
- Cutting board and knife
- Can opener
- Large Skillet
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of boneless pork shoulder, cut into chunks
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) of hominy, drained and rinsed

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (4 ounces) of diced green chilies
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 4 cups of chicken broth

Instructions
- Start by browning the pork. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of oil, and sear the pork pieces until they're browned on all sides. This step adds a depth of flavor to the posole.
- Transfer the seared pork to your slow cooker.
- Add the hominy, chopped onion, minced garlic, diced green chilies, cumin, and dried oregano to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The long, slow cooking time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- When the posole is ready, serve it hot with your choice of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, radishes, lime wedges, and chopped cilantro.
